We consider a periodic reaction diffusion system which, because of competition between $u$ and $v$, does not enjoy the comparison principle. It also takes into account mutations, allowing $u$ to switch to $v$ and vice versa. Such a system…
We consider a class of reaction-diffusion equations of Fisher-KPP type in which the nonlinearity (reaction term) $f$ is merely $C^1$ at $u=0$ due to a logarithmic competition term. We first derive the asymptotic behavior of (minimal speed)…
We study the Cauchy problem on the real line for the nonlocal Fisher-KPP equation in one spatial dimension, \[ u_t = D u_{xx} + u(1-\phi*u), \] where $\phi*u$ is a spatial convolution with the top hat kernel, $\phi(y) \equiv…
